Kebony wood is a sustainable, environmentally friendly alternative to tropical hardwood and copper-impregnated and preservative-treated wood. This new wood material is suitable for outdoor and indoor applications including: cladding, decking, roofing, marine and boat decking, flooring and furniture. It is non toxic, easy to maintain, aesthetically pleasing, resistant to decay and cost effective due to good durability and long lifespan in harsh climates.

Kebony is based on a process where sustainable wood is made more durable and stable using liquids from biowaste material. Kebony is FSC-certified and supported by environmental organizations such as The Rain Forest Foundation. Kebony was named as one of the world’s most promising clean technology companies in the 2010 Global Cleantech 100 and recent environmental studies demonstrate that Kebony maple has a substantially lower carbon footprint than unsustainable Burmese teak.

Kebony has received myriad awards in recognition of its green credentials, including the Nordic region’s eco-label, the Swan, the Blue Ocean Award for its use in replacing traditional teak decks and the Glass Bear for sustainable consumption and production.
